homeowner's association
contrary to popular belief, living in sweetwater ain't all that sweet. sure, the golf course, palm trees, and mercedes sitting in every driveway might be enticing, but once you own a house in this "ideal" subdivision, you get harrassed by none other than homeowner's association.

because of this dreadful excuse of an organization, we are not allowed to hold fun garage sales, sell lemonade on the corner, or, apparently, have anything around the house that might seem disorderly.

as many of you know, my house contains 2 basketball goals. well, depends how you count them i guess. the older one that has been with our family since our previous home has a cracked backboard, and the newer one has half a backboard and a rattling rim due to alex fan hanging on it.

recently, homeowner's association sent us a letter telling us about some unknown rule in their little handbook disallowing broken backboards, as well as having multiple goals on a single driveway. personally, i think they made up this second rule because i know for a fact that there are other houses in sweetwater that have a full court.

anyways, so my parents tell us to get rid of the goals before homeowner's association sends us another letter and/or a fine. reluctantly, we decided to follow their instructions.

newer goal:


older goal:


true ballers don't require backboards.

so now, no broken backboards, and only one hoop on the driveway.

WHAT NOW, HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION?!
